Summarize Argument
The author concludes that wood-burning stoves are more dangerous than open fireplaces. This is because the smoke that wood-burning stoves release up the chimney is cooler than open fireplace smoke, which means that it deposits more creosote. The creosote can clog a chimney or ignite.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that there are no other dangerous features of an open fireplace that could outweigh the danger posed by the greater amounts of creosote from wood-burning stoves. The author also assumes that cooler smoke travels more slowly and deposits more creosote.
